We are going to a family reunion, and I plan on taking the camper and staying. It will be one or two nights. How long can you keep "stuff" in the black tank before emptying? Can I wait till our next trip, or do I need to do it that same weekend?
 
The stuff keeps pretty well, so it depends on how long till your next trip. If its going to be a month or so, you can always add some tank chemicals (they aren't  needed at all if you are filling and dumping regularly). But if it s just a week or two, I wouldn't worry about it.  We routinely run 6-10 days between dumps on the black tank anyway, and adding a week or so is not a big deal.
 
I agree with Gary unless you have been using chemicals containing formaldehyde then all bets are off.  We use no additived to the BWT and like Gary go between 6 - 10 days between dumps.
